Abstract

In recent years, two-dimensional functional optical devices utilizing metasurfaces to manipulate phases of light develop rapidly. In this paper, we demonstrated metalenses according to the geometric Pancharatnam–Berry phase concept based on zinc sulfide (ZnS) material. Metalenses at the visible wavelengths λ=405, 532 and 633 nm have the capacity to focus incident light down to diffraction-limited spots with corresponding transfer efficiencies of 72%, 65%, 67%, respectively. A full-hybrid metalens was developed to adapt for double-polarized light focusing, which altered the condition that metalenses designed by geometric phase concepts could not focus different polarized light into one spot. In addition, we realized the conversion of the circularly polarized plane light into a vortex beam and focusing the vortex beam simultaneously by one device.
